Re: [dpdk-users] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request

[Sushil Adhikari <sushil446@gmail.com>]

Another update on this issue, the problem seems to because of 1024
hugepages of 2MB not being contiguous memory, I don't see the problem if I
use 4 1GB hugpeages. Any idea on what could be the reason for 1024
hugepages not being contiguous? Any suggestion on system configuration or
kernel configuration that might resolve the problem?

Thank you
Sushil
